IFPDA’s Los Angeles Fine Print Fair at Bonhams

Another art fair happening this weekend is the Los Angeles Fine Print Fair @ Bonhams in West Hollywood. A much more intimate affair organized by members of the International Fine Print Dealers Association (IFPDA). The fair features a charming group of notable fine art print dealers and informative public programs. Personally, I’m looking forward to the CARING FOR A PRINT COLLECTION panel discussion on Sunday morning…nerdy I know but it’s important to know how to take care of your art prints (they could be worth a lot of $$$ someday!). xL

Continuing a 29-year tradition, the Los Angeles Print Fair returns from January 22-24, 2016 in a new location at Bonhams in West Hollywood, providing easier access to the fair and ample parking for attendees. An engaging boutique art fair offering regional collectors a unique opportunity to connect with leading art dealers and purchase prints of impeccable quality from all periods. Exhibitors are experts in the field of prints and are all members of the International Fine Print Dealers Association (IFPDA). On offer are works of art created by artists of art historical importance using techniques such as etching, lithography or woodcut to express unique ideas.

Frank Romero print, which is being given away as a prize on opening night. The print is a serigraph done in 2012, titled “Going to the Olympics”. It is a print recreating the mural he did in 1984 for the Los Angeles Olympics
